is the tribal caravan foraging bonus per-pawn or per-faction?

[Anshosamki]

If tribals are adopted into an new-arrivals colony, do those tribals get the foraging bonus? Or is that bonus a faction-trait, in which case, another question is: do non-tribals adopted into a tribal-start get it?

[Alenerel]

Id say they wont get the bonus and that it works like meditation. This is, when you are a tribal and recruit non tribals, they still cannot meditate with natural focus. So my guess is that is the tribal background of the pawn the one that counts for foraging bonus.

It's a faction bonus like the research speed multiplier. Belonging to a faction is the only thing that influences those things, no matter where the person came from or what background they have. In the UI it specifically says "faction bonus".

Was this changed recently? I seem to remember playing games recruiting tribals who would then make use of the anima tree. Why would their meditation focus type change as that's pawn backstory based?

The childhood backstory is the only thing that changes the base meditation type from art -> natural. Destination faction type or source faction type have no influence on this.
